Wow.. I know we covered this a bit but the max towing capacity of the Raptor is listed at 8000lbs. That trailer is nearly 12000lbs max. It is only 420lbs under the Raptors max dry and unloaded. I think you are asking too much from a truck that wasn't really meant to be a heavy hauler. Sorry, just my opinion.

What Prybar said. If you need to tow that heavy every once in awhile, find a friend with a Superduty. If you need to tow that often, get a Superduty.

just because your trailer can haul that much don't mean that is your plan so what are you going to be hauling. jayco makes a nice trailer if you plan on hauling sleds and 4wheelers it's a bit over kill you will only have the capability of hauling 500lb.
their is know doubt the truck can do it just not safely at speed. I have hauled a skid steer with no problems but didn't drive over 50mph and only had a few miles to go.

So guys here had tow 10,000 lb by their Raptor with Weight Distribution and Sway Control. I’m planning to trend my 2500HD Ram to get a Raptor...the reason is that Raptor is more fun to drive in sand...and the limitation of towing capacity is worriing me though many guys had towed heavy loads and said it can hold it..only limitation is the rear suspension...and with weight distributor it should be fine do you think i am take it to its limits???? the F150 tow 11,000 lb so I believe with the same chassis and same engine Raptor can tow 10,000 easily that's my though ...do you support it

which Weight Distribution Systems will be the best for me

Pro Series Trunnion Style Weight Distribution Systems (shank sold seperately)
Part No. Tongue Wt. Gross Trailer Wt.
RP66152 600 lbs 10,000 lbs
RP66154 800 lbs 10,000 lbs

RP66157 1,500 lbs 15,000 lbs

No I don't support it. But if you think it will work ?
RPG has a neat little deal with the air bumps for the rear of the Raptor where you could put a Frame support kit (something you will need towing that much) and 2.5 Fox air bumps for when you get to the dunes, and longer air bumps for towing all your stuff out there. Check out their vendor section, pretty cool stuff
